I saw someone post pictures of an accident from this morning in the Bronx…

I had to.

Also, and I need to rant here sorry, Failblog and icanhas and all that take all rights to anything you submit and then try ad SELL YOU BOOKS with your stuff in it. Why would you make them money for using your material? WHY DOES NO ONE NOTICE THIS?!

Re: Alternate Side Parking Fail
Because most people submitting stuff like this don't care about image rights. Most of the time they don't even have rights to the image themselves. ^_^;;

Welcome to the new commercial medium. Wander in a sea of media, pick up the flotsam, polish it, sell it, and run.

Re: Alternate Side Parking Fail
I think there's a certain amount of "its worth 5c, I don't care"-- like what happens when people drop a penny on the sidewalk and ignore it. The internet just makes it easier to collect those pennies..

Re: Alternate Side Parking Fail
Except it isn't 5 cents, ya know? The icanhas book was signed for a 6 or 7 figure deal. The money they make off ads every week is also not exactly tiny.

Re: Alternate Side Parking Fail
Right, I'm not saying that its only 5 cents to the icanhas people. Its 5 cents to the people who toss it away. icanhas makes out like total bandits because gathered together efficiently they've managed to take everyone's 5 cents and bunch it together into a massive payoff for themselves.

Its galling since they ignore and don't respect true copyright but there you have it. Several million people's worth of garbage adds up to gold for them.
